in '94 oliver north ran in virginia and lost to republican seat they should have won for the senate. but that doesn't mean it was a bad year, '94 for republicans. the republicans would say, you know, we have all this enthusiasm. we've got lie turnout in primary after primary. we are riding a wave, it is not because of us t just because people want to get rid of the democrats and we're getting an unearned victory but we'll take an excess like what happened in delaware in exchange for all the support we're getting in kentucky, in alaska, in ohio. and so their view is, i think in general, that this was unfortunate for the party but if it is a trade-off, the tea party movement for the republican party is still a huge net plus. >> lehrer: is it a net flowers democrats? it has been suggested by some pundits as you know this is terrific. we can now take delaware. oh, we can now take this state and that state because the republicans nominated a tea party person. >> i don't think it is any question that democrats have privately conceded that mike cassell, the twice governor, nine times congre

he spoke to a small group of supporters in a fairfax county virginia backyard. >> we could get that done this week , but we're still in this wrestling match with john boehner and mitch mcconnell about the last two to three percent where, on average, we'd be giving them $100,000 for people making a million dollars or more. >> ifill: the debate over tax cuts within the democratic party as well is expected to grow more heated as lawmakers return to washington from a six-week break. let's start with john boehner on face the nation yesterday. what did he mean? >> well, that's really hard to say. i mean my sense is that he made a little bit of a mistake. he went off message. the republicans have been so adamant that they don't think the tax cuts should expire for anyone no matter how much they make. for john boehner to say maybe he'd go along if forced with a proposal that would let them elapse for people who make more than $250,000. that seemed off message. the republicans were very much backpedaling and retracting some of that. >> ifill: he came out with a statement this afternoon saying we
